With the study of this program you will be updated on the general therapeutic measures implemented in the face of poisoning by household products or natural agents"

The adverse effects of poisoning caused by frequently used products that are easily accessible from home or by natural agents such as animals and plants are diverse. In such situations, prior studies of the medical history of each patient are required, which are generally not available in the emergency room.

Therefore, it is important to make specific assessments according to the symptoms and signs of the affected person that the specialist must relate to the possible causes and therefore define the precise antidote. For these reasons, it is necessary for the specialist to be familiar with the advances of science in this regard and the updates regarding the assessment and treatment of the poisoned patient. 

This postgraduate diploma brings together a syllabus of high academic level that contains in 5 study modules the most updated contents related to the initial assessment of the poisoned patient, the examinations to be performed, the different types of Toxicology such as hepatic, renal, hematological, neurological and psychiatric. 

Also, the epidemiology of snake bites, animal bites, fish poisoning, insects such as wasps, bees and bumblebees. As well as poisoning caused by cleaning, personal hygiene and cosmetic products and their classification according to their toxicity. 

Additionally, the graduate will also be able to make the diagnosis of suspected poisoning and diagnostic hypotheses of poisoning in rural areas by pesticides or phytosanitary products, thanks to the 100% online study developed by experts who have poured all their experience in the subject, within the content of this higher level program.

In a practical way and with the guidance of expert teachers, you will recognize plants with toxic potential and their possible antidotes"
